Paris Figaro. STUDY OF MESMERISM. COME VERY CURIOUS EXPERIMENTS MADE AT THE CAPITAL. JniinmllHt CrofTut'ii Kxhihltiou of .Skill In Ily pnot Imn Susrueiitcd Iturglary Com mitted ly 11 'Koindtlvc" Not So Suc cessful with Another Subject. W. A. CrofTnt has recently taken up the study of mesmerism, or hypnotism, ns the j scientists prefer to call it. Mr. CrofTnt lias developed considerable skill in this j direction, and the other night gave an ex hibition at his house before a noteworthy audience. Among others present were Postmaster (Jeiiernl Vilas and his family, Senator Ingalls, Senator Piatt, of Con necticut; (Jen. A. W. (Jreely and la's wife, Admiral and Mrs. Hussi-11, Mr. Coleman, the commissioner of agriculture; Col. Nieolay, marshal of the I'nited States su preme court; (.Jen. IJryant, assistant at torney general; Professor Thompson, of the geological survey, and a number of other seientitie gentlemen and physicians. He fore lH'ginning his experiments Mr. CrolTut explained that he had been very much intereste-d in rcaling, in Paris let ters, of the experiments conducted by Drs. Charcot and Lnys iu Europe. vic.uuors CISIMIXALITY. Mr. Croliut remarked that the experi mentation with dangerous tlrugs and medicated compounds under " seientitie conditions would be postponed to another evening, but ho would immediately make tests as to the vicarious commission of crime. After performing some minor ex periments and getting his subjects into a g'od condition, Mr. CrolTut sittempted tho feat or compelling a fellow being to cotii mit a crime by the force of his own will, acting upon the will of that fellow being. One of the subjects, a young woman cm ployed in the government printing office, was told to go into the audience and pick the ladies' pockets. She manifested great horror of the act anil refused, but by an inqierative command the mcmerizer in duced her to comply, ami without much display of ingenuity she got a phantom purse, not a real one, from Mrs. John C. Fremont. The experiment was not satis factory as to the practical employment of an agent. Another sensitive, a clerk in a depart ment, was mesmerized, and Mr. CrolTut explained to him that iu a house of one of the neighbors, in an upper chamber, in a certain corner and a certain drawer in the dressing case was a pockctbook which contained $.3,000. lie described the situ ation of tiie house minutely, the way to go there, the arrangement of the dressing case and so on, repeating it over several times until the subject had the geography impressed upon his mind. Then handing him two keys he said: "The larger key will open the front tloorof the house and the smaller key will open the drawer of the dressing case in which the pocket book will be found." He told the young man that if he would steal that pocketbook he would give him the money. There was a good ileal of dis cussion between the mesmerist and his subject concerning tho liability of discov ery and arrest, but when Assured that there was not the slightest possibility of anybody interfering with him, and that there were no dogs about the place, he consented to undertake the burglary. Four or five gentlemen in the room were asked to follow the subject on his trip. Due arrangements had previously been made with a neighbor to place the pocket book in the situation described. Tho young man ran out into the street, turned the corner, and when he came to tha house described by Mr. Croff tit recognized it at once by the description. He then began to sho w the greatest degree of agi tation, looking nervously behind all tho tree boxes and around the corners, and finally jumped over the fence, saying to those who accompanied him as "pals" of whose presence he seemed only half conscious that he did so lest the gate should make a noise. XERVOC3 AND CATTIOTTS. When he reached the porch his nervotis ness seemed to increase, as well as his caution; but he unlocked and opened the door quietly, crept into the hallway, looked round all the corners and into all the rooms, found his way up stairs into the apartment described, drew out the key, unlocked the drawer indicated ami found the pocket book, Jle. was storting away with it, when one of those who u-j companied him called his attention to the fact that he had left the drawer open, and that he had better restore things as ho found them. He replied that that was a good idea, and doing so, put the key in his pocket. 1I5 then crept around tho room, looking into othei- places, and whoji asked why he eiid so, replied that he was looking for something else he could ster.L One of the party suggested to him that it was a bad place to steal anything bv.t money, for jewelry could be traced whiij money could not, This seemed to strike him a3 sensible, and he remarked that tna pocket book was full of bills, and he had better be satisfied with what he had got. Then he crept down stairs with gret caution, shut and locked the front door carefully after him, and reaching tho street, started to run like a frightened deer. One of iis attendants caught nita by the arm and asked him where ho wa.3 going, lie said he was going home, but the attendant suggested he mu3t return to Mr. Croffut's house and give him his share of the money. The mesmerized thiei stopped a, moment anil said: "Yes, it would be mean not to give him hia share; he put us on to the job, we will go back and deal square with him." lie returned to Mr. Croflut's lions, Landed that gentleman the pocket book and counting out 5,000 in imaginary money, divided it equally between tli two. This experiment seemed to demonstrate that, proper conditions existing, crime may be committed second Land through mesmeric influences. "With another subject Mr. Croffut yrn not so successful. H convinced a young man that Lis brother Lad been killed by an Indian, whom Le was advised to mur der in revenge, and was told that he couM find him on the Capitol steps. The sensi tive, though generally obedient under mesmeric influences, refused to believe such an absurd story, and after a long argument with Mr. Croffut, in which tho subject showed as much shrewdness as the operator, declined to attempt the deed ho was urged to commit.

And the transfer is cheaper and easier now, not to say doubly .more speedy, than it was a few years ago to send ten limes the amount. Few people realize how closely the great cities of the world are connected by chained lightning and how cosmopolitan civili.cd humanity has become.

The great banking houses will not transfer a smaller sum than 10. and then only at the rate of v-5 per pound sterling, irrespective of current rates of exchange. After adding the cable tolls the operation becomes imprac ticable, lint it remains a fact that much smaller sums are cabled across the pond daily and weekly and monthly wit hout difficulty by people who know Low to do it. English thcatrkal people playing en gagements in Xew York, or anywhere in the I'nited States, constantly sent a regu lar percentage of their salaries to friends or agents in the old country for domestic use or investment. Const -ml ly'on the go, and accustomed to the use or telegraphing for every day purposes, the slow proccs: of transmission by mail soon becomes irk some to them. They founded the system of cabling money to the other side, and it h3 already grown to a ioo-f. intcrcs! 5ng proportion. They do it through their steamship agency. Philadelphia Press.
